Friend or Foe?

Lenexa, KS(Zone 6a)

I have this coming up like a groundcover in a bed. We purchased this house a couple of years ago, but don't remember it last year. Could it be wild strawberry?

Here is a close-up of the leaves......

Hi. Not strawberry, your plant has paired leaves and strawberry has three. (I have seen something with five that looks like strawberry, but it's not, right folks?) It almost looks kind of nettle-y. Anyone in your neighborhood recognize it?

Hi Lizzie....thanx for your post. I posted over in the Plant ID forum and got it ID'd as Campanula punctata 'Cherry Bells'. And it can be very invasive. :-(
